I have had reports reach my desk of a shipwreck by some islands not far from the coastline here with some troubling signs reported by those who have seen them. Unnatural lights that have caused other ships and small vessels to wreck themselves, the sailors not returning. Those who report it - sailors for the most - blame it on demons.
Given my knowledge of sailing and the possibility that it might be a rift or some other activity like it, I'll be taking a small team to look into this. Myself, Rey, and Helena will be going as those in possession of anchors should they be required, Korrin Ataash and Ser Norrington both as members of the Naval Presence project and for their skills, and Ser Ashlock to have another Templar with us, as well as his confidence about ships and sailing.
With the current climate, I only wish to let you know that this should take no longer than a weekend to get there and back with fair winds, and that we are well accounted for with two Templars accompanying us. Tensions have been high, three rifters and one so closely involved all leaving on a ship could be read in many ways but this is very much an investigation into a matter we can resolve. Right now, I believe the distraction of work can only be a good thing, and helping out those we live by is a worthy cause.
I take full responsibility for anything that occurs, and if you wish to contact me, my sending crystal will be with me at all times if we have to return sooner due to circumstances in Kirkwall.
Yours, Araceli Bonaventura y Castell
